Best Golf Training Aids - Your Handicap Will Drop!

[@MarkCrossfield]

What is your favourite golf training aid?

[@J_B72]

Divotboard, and it’s not even close. Prosendr is a distant #2. A simple chalk line on a green is #3.

[@briarmeadow]

Favourite? The SuperSpeed Sticks have been a great new addition for me as an aging golfer. I've never tried a divot board.

20:49 Our club has Mevo. Hence there are really a lot of Trackman studios around herem, where you can go hit for an hour just for 10 quid in the early morning. Mevo has not got all the clubhead attributes a Trackman can provide, but it is ok, if you are in for geining speed.

Knitting gear, the sticks and a thread are and have been the best putting aid for me. Few Euros for the sticks and another two for the line between them.

The Stack is the only aid on this list that I already have and love it. In 2 years of use, I increased 13 mph and in year 3 have maintained the gains. Candidly, after an initial spike in speed and then trending up incrementally over a few months, I’ve plateaued. That said, the 13 mph increase has been a game changer and I achieved my lowest ever handicap index in my mid fifties. If willing to commit to their training, it will increase your club head speed. The gains will be based on how close you are to your speed ability already. However, I’ve yet to meet anyone who didn’t increase their club head speed using the device.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Stack is so good

[@hulksmash6858]

First comment. Hack motion has been improving my game considerably. Dropped 4 to 6 strokes on average over 6 rounds, and I have been using just under a month.

[@MitchGrinter]

Super Speed Sticks (although had I not bought those first, I'd have gone the Stack for it's versatility). Mevo + so I can do meaningful practice at home. I also have gotten a lot out of my DeWiz. I'd hesitate to recommend it because it's not necessarily intuitive to work out what output derives from what input, but a combo of DeWiz and data from Mevo has helped me turn an out to in path into an in to out path by marrying up my hand movement in transition with a better release to turn into the numbers I was hoping to see.

[@peterscott1498]

The best training aid I have is a large towel. Quieter than a smash bag, bit less resistance which is good. You get a follow through

[@stanblack1235]

I am getting into this game way too late but life and carrier got in the way. I have now been told by 6-10 people that you are where they started and they are incredible golfers. Can you guide me where I should start with your content to build my foundation? Thank you - SB

[@jonathanstephens3839]

I have three training aids that I like to use. I have the Pro-Sendr, Hanger Golf and HackMotion. I recently got the HackMotion and it’s helped me a ton. All three of them help set the wrist. I struggle with that in my golf swing the most. I use Stack Golf for speed training. What do you think about RypStick golf?

[@kolchak357]

I love my divot board. Best training aid I’ve ever owned.

[@MarkCrossfield]

They are great.

[@idgas68]

Love your tips and podcasts. Like to see you tee it up with other content creators. Bran Brother, James Robinson, Per Finch ect.

[@davidsparkes9023]

Awesome stuff thanks Mark 😊

[@MarkCrossfield]

Your welcome

[@EdwardWittArt]

Mark, thanks for the discount code on Ex Putt. Between that and The Stack I'm gonna be a beast come spring. Love the podcast too.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Brilliant. Thanks for watching.

[@J_B72]

Good stuff. Will you have some specific content on Vertex? Maybe even compare results with other systems?

[@bennorris3712]

I absolutely love my ProSendr.

[@jcee6886]

Divot board in Australia is $200. You can get other brands for half price or less.

[@gdouglass10]

Got myself a hackmotion (Core edition) primarily based on your review last year but finally pulled the trigger as they have a great black friday deal on atm. Used it on the range with fantastic results and highlighting an issue I didn't know I had, too much flexion at impact, the guided training is just brilliant

[@MrJohndo111]

No planemate? I found it to produce a lightbulb moment for the feel of getting to the ball from the inside.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Love it.

[@alcw625]

I use LIVE VIEW, so easy to send the swing to your phone or ipad, very easy to setup and use to see your swing live and "on tape"..use Pelz putter aid to help alignment. I used the hangar for a while and will try pure swing precision impact to work on my cupped wrist ( i guess he's moved on to prosender now). I have an R10 I use on occasion outdoors for attack angle, apex, face information, etc. My Blast is sitting in front of me charging now for the past few months..I was using it for putting help last season on tempo and face. I don't think they've updated the firmware on that for a while now. Really old school, i have a board and block of wood on weight shift as cheap aid. I've used yarn and needles to putt (both as gate and alignment), used the credit card in the glove, tees in the glove, even tried the kids bouncy ball between the arms....someone convinced the MIL years ago she needed a chipping net, so it's a family joke now for when you buy something useless, outrageous, expensive, etc...sorta like me now trying pure swing precision

[@EduardoEspinosa-j7c]

Exputt rocks!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Doesn’t it just

[@scedab]

exputt is brilliant

[@MarkCrossfield]

Totally

[@pittgolfer1379]

Did you notice any foot print impressions left on the indoor putting mat after you were done using it?

[@jeremiahmclane2374]

I have like all of these and I'm still a 7 handicap!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Haha

[@gerrycollins2335]

Do have have them or like them?

[@glencampbell1701]

Hackmotion or DeWiz if can only purchase one?

[@rickysamson8093]

Really informative ta

[@MarkCrossfield]

Glad you liked it

[@shawndgee]

Mark have you been channeling Club Pro Guy?

[@stevo6497]

Very Insightful video to training aids, What would your thoughts be between the Mevo and Rapsodo MLM 2 Pro

[@MarkCrossfield]

Rapsodo has lots more fun features. Mevo is a sold buy for distance control practice.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Solid

[@Snowman9K]

Which device will tell me how far a basic green side chip into a net will fly and run, or alternatively, the ball speed of it? I would like to work on chipping distance over the winter. Will the simple PRGR / Stack unit give me an accurate ball speed on a low speed chip?

[@MarkCrossfield]

Stack is around 25 yards and up. Mevo plus and skytrak for me

[@dallaswiginton]

Bushnell Launch Pro would be phenomenal for this info. Ball only model would still be slightly more than Mevo but it’s 100% worth it.

[@milesaltman3503]

Dang that’s a huge birdie ball mat! Grabbed a 4x16 5 years back and thought it was ridiculous….moved into a new house and yes, it is ridiculous, no place to roll it out ha!

[@jameseason9949]

Seems Square's Launch Monitor offers a great value compared to SkyTrak. Trying to determine what SkyTrak offers beyond Square. Would love your thoughts on this.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Testing square golf and I am not sure where you are getting this info from. I am seeing large differences at the minute.

[@jameseason9949]

@@MarkCrossfield Thanks. I look forward to your evaluation! REALLY enjoy your channel and emails. VERY helpful!

[@martlec]

Great video. Thanks. If I understand correctly, both the Hackmotion and the ProSendr seem to target the same area; which one would you recommend most? (1) assuming price is not an issue) and (2) if price is an issue as the Hackmotion is more expensive. Sorry to put you on the spot 😄

[@MarkCrossfield]

Hack works for both wrists. Sendr is much more everyday.

[@martlec]

@@MarkCrossfield Apologies. I'm not sure I fully understand your reply. Can you pls elaborate, I really want to get one of them but not sure which one would be the best investment.

[@MarkCrossfield]

@ prosendr is good for everyday practice. Before a game. A quick feel conformation in a practice. Hack is better long term. So more committed sessions using it

[@martlec]

@@MarkCrossfield Perfect. Thanks

[@michaelduffy9677]

I've just bought the hack motion and had a few sessions now but I'm struggling to understand it as I'm in range at top and impact but I've seen some, we'll say wayward shots. What can you recommend where I take this info

[@MarkCrossfield]

With what club?

[@michaelduffy9677]

@MarkCrossfield mainly driver but I feel I'm flipping at impact and closing the face as I'm duck hooking it but you can see same issue with irons just not as bad. I am trying to extend more at top as that's what it's saying but a slice has started happening a bit, which I'm not too bothered about but I'll have a big 2 way miss

[@rolaball100]

Just about to purchase the Garmin R1O..but is there anything else you would recommend to help with an "over the top" swing.. Hoping to cure this over the winter.🙏

[@MarkCrossfield]

Prosendr for over the top is great.

[@jonjrodriguez]

Are you still a fan of the Swingyde? Worth trying that before spending the money on ProSendr?

[@MarkCrossfield]

It’s a good product for sure

[@jonchadwick1171]

I'm curious to know why you haven't included the DST training clubs?

[@MarkCrossfield]

I don’t see it helping golfers when I tested. 👍

[@pederjensen7288]

Capto golf is by far better for putting improvement

[@goonie1975]

Prosendr or hackmotion if you had to pick just one.

[@MarkCrossfield]

That’s tough. Hack is better for full long sessions. Prosendr is better at just putting on and getting that feeling right away.

[@shaynehannemann2637]

I have the same question on this… I really like the idea, concept, & data from hack motion but think I could benefit of the instant feedback- feel of prosendr. This is my current area of focus with my golf instructor so wondering which way to go! Love this entire list of training aids & tech! I’m a tech geek. These all look very interesting. Great video Mark!

[@jorgens6558]

If you want to increase your swing speed and stability go to your gym. Talk to your Pro about what to train, but generally the average golfer lacks leg strength and balance.

[@eturn23]

I thought de Wiz would be on the list.

[@MarkCrossfield]

De wiz is good. Just not quite in there

[@brentwalk13]

Mark, I miss the course vlogs with the Muppets!

[@PetSKi67]

Putting a putt is easy, you may perfect your stroke, but if you don’t reed the green properly, you’ll allways miss.

[@Mase1up]

That's exactly why I don't work on my putting. Sometimes I'll misread it, then totally mishit the putt and drain it. If I rolled it correctly I'd never make one!

[@johnm900]

These aids are all great if you happen to have 3 or 4 figure sums of cash spare, which effectively puts most of them comfortably outside the affordability box for most club golfers. - It’s a shame you didn’t include a couple of ‘affordable’ options such as the PuttOut or even a humble pair of alignment sticks. And does anyone even know what the stimp is on their own course let alone other venues? - unless you play on a tour, in which case you’ll have talent and a track man. Just my observations & opinion.

[@KyleW-h3s]

Well, who really needs* alignment sticks? Throwing a club down is just as good🤷‍♂️

[@MarkCrossfield]

I will do more of these and will defo do some price range based ones. Thank 👍

[@MarkCrossfield]

@ this is a fair point too. But if I can get some good info around aids at different prices and get you guys and girls some discounts then I am happy.

[@johnm900]

@@MarkCrossfield thanks for both replies Mark, I’m a big fan of your teaching videos, was lucky enough to meet you at the Bluewater Glow Centre Golf Show a few years ago. I also recognise you have to accommodate all strata’s of your viewing public, and I’m not alone in looking forward to your future instalments 👍👍

[@johnm900]

@@KyleW-h3s If that works for you (or anyone else) perhaps you don’t need em’? I have used both, but prefer sticks as they offer a greater range of functionality depending on what one is trying to achieve/work on. 👍

[@cobra1995xx]

is the mevo good for the range and hitting chips and shots out to like 125 yrds?? i do more short game practice to save my back lol

[@MarkCrossfield]

Yep it would do that 👍
